The Phoenix Force's return will be central to Marvel's upcoming Avenger vs. X-Men event, which kicks off in April. New Avengers #25 will help set the scene for the conflict.

Marvel's solicitation for the issue reads: "As the Phoenix Force continues its crash course towards Earth during the blockbuster comic event of the year, Avengers vs. X-Men, Iron Fist learns that he has a shocking connection to the all-powerful embodiment of rebirth and destruction! But what does that mean for his team?"
